Before I forget,

We will fail to load the lib if the path to GEM contains any “white space”, i.e: 

declare -lib C:/Users/john smith/AppData/Roaming/pd/Gem 

here: john smith

or

declare -lib C:/Program Files (x86)/pd/extra/Gem

here: Program Files (x86)

Report your complete path to the Gem folder.

Depending on your report you we can tell if you can use the “-stdlib” switch, so you can just put:

declare -stdlib Gem

Hi,

Please also reply to the Pd-list.

First find the “Gem” folder on your computer. This place has been selected by you when you downloaded the external.

In my case is:

C:\Users\Lucarda\AppData\Roaming\pd\Gem

Start a new patch and create a [declare] object, like this:

[declare -lib C:/Users/Lucarda/AppData/Roaming/pd/Gem]

note that inside Pd I have changed the windows path “\” with this “/” .

If the object was correctly created you will get this message on the console:

*****

GEM: found a bug? miss a feature? please report it:

******

If you don't, you will have to download “msvcr71.dll” and place it on the Gem folder. And restart Pd and create the [declare] object.

Please report if this work, then we will move to the start-up flag if necessary.

This is for Gem/0.93.3

Please note that I'm a regular audio Pd user, this only makes sure that Gem is correctly loaded, I have no experience on video.

 

Salutti,

Lucarda.
